Does anyone sell cards at garage sales?

I'm having a garage sale on May 1 and was thinking about packaging up some baseball cards for sale. Does anyone do this and do you sell many cards if you do? What is the best way to package them? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

When we used to have yearly sales I used to advertise them and did pretty good selling singles as well as grab bags. Need to get stuff together for a sale this year been about 3 years since we had one.

I had one about 5 years ago that included cards.
I made bundles using team bags and inserted 50-75 cards
or whatever the team bag could hold. They had stars, and
semi-stars. The kind of stuff that would take ages to move.
It was a variety from all 4 sports, but each pack stayed within
its own sport. I made about 50 of these packs and put them in a box and marked the outside of the box "Sportscards .50 cent each" in big letters with a sharpie. I think I sold almost half of what I made. Whatever was left, I gave them out during Halloween.
I don't think I could ever sell singles at a yard sale. It would be
too much work, and probably a lot of hassle explaining why I want
said amount for that card and all. Plus, I don't want people to know
what I have.

Team sets/lots and grab bags seems like a great way to go.

For the grab bag maybe insert a hi dollar card in 1 or 2 of them that way people have a shot at something
decent.

To answer the OP question, mine is no, but I have done shows in the past where
this has worked.


Edited to add: Brown paper bags could be used for the grab bags

Team/lots better to use clear team set type bags.
